(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch and Matthew Gutman - A senior security source said the attack on Wednesday at the border crossing terminal north of Eilat has the markings of an al-Qaeda strike. Al-Qaeda is increasing its activity in Arab countries perceived to be pro-Western - such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan - the source said. Hitting tourists is also a well-established al-Qaeda tactic, he noted. He also doubted that the attacks were engineered by Hamas or elements of other terrorist groups tolerated in Jordan s capital Amman. "[Hamas] would not want to risk their position in Jordan by angering and humiliating the Jordanians in such a way," said the source. A tourist from Ecuador was killed and four others wounded by a Jordanian who opened fire in the terminal. "The last time there was an act of terror in Eilat was in 1969 when a Katyusha was fired at the city from Aqaba," said Eilat mayor David Kadosh. 2003-11-21 00:00:00Full Article
